If anyone starts getting page faults while running Perl (mine is Build 633 but I assume that matters little as this is actually a Windows problem) check the date on C:\windows\system\oleaut32.dll. There is a new version that's bad. Have you installed anything lately:)
I wish I could tell you I got the date off the bad version before I deleted it, but at that point I was desperately trying to get up again, and I just nailed it without a second thought. There is an old version in C:\windows\windows update setup files\MDAC_IE5.CAB dated 3/8/99 that works. Of course the original is in use by Windows -- have to reboot to DOS to change it. The first thing I did when Perl started acting up was try a virus scan. It also takes out McAfee security center (and who knows what else), which at first made me think it must certainly be a nasty little virus that was attacking my anti-virus defenses first, but no, that's the wrong way to look for the solution to this one. ms _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
